No need to waste my time discussing it with you. What I said below is
correct, unchanged.

WRONG!! In our literature we said that we designed the components to
a 2000 hour TBO.



Ah. You deliberately misled customers by using weasel words, but
didn't quite say "to", you used the word "with".
Here are some quotes from various brochures over the years:


Ah HA!! Mr. Help, you are no help. People are not as stupid as you
portray them to be.


Well that's a switch! You marketed to entry-level customers. Then after
your collapse, you portrayed them as stupid, incapable, and the cause of
all your problems.

How many customers do you think purchased a Mini-500 without calling
us to ask questions? How many do you think didn't understand what we
wrote, or those that didn't understand about the 2000 hours asked for
clarification? How many people do you think really thought they were
purchasing a fully 2000 hour tested helicopter for only $20,000 to
$28,000.


We'll never know how many of them thought what.

Why do you think other people are so stupid? Or, do you judge all
others as if they were equal to you? I guess if "you" would have been
someone that purchased a Mini-500 based on your belief it had a 2000
tested component life, then I would actually owe someone an apology
for their lacking braid capacity to understand. Lucky for me, you
didn't buy one.

All components, except the Rotax 582 engine, were designed with a
2,000 hour T.B.O.

All components, except the engine, are designed with a TBO of at
least 2,000 hours.

High TBO: All components except the engine and lifetime composite
main blades, are designed with a TBO up to 2,000 hours.

The main transmission contains a set of ground spiral bevel ring and
pinion gears, designed and manufactured specifically for the
Mini-500B to give a 2,000 hour TBO.


Thank you for backing up what we advertised.


LOL! It was pure hyperbole. You never backed it up then, and nobody's
backing it up now.

We also stated that they were not tested to a 2000 hour TBO.



You _never_ stated any such thing.


Yes we did.


Naw, I've got a bunch of brochures here and there's nothing of the sort,
not a hint.

You're not very popular here, ya' notice? Feeling kind of alone? Maybe
it's time for you to pop up as "planeman" again and praise yourself.


Believe me, I don't waste a single moment worrying about anything you think.
